Trust grows with time. RECARO has been building car seats for over 110 years and is committed to transporting and accompanying people safely. Child car seats are a particularly sensitive and important area for us. Because we at RECARO also have children. That's why we do everything we can to keep your family safe. On all journeys, big and small. On the road and in the air. Every day and everywhere.
CREATING TRUST
"Ingenious Design describes the combination of function, ergonomics and aesthetics that has always been characteristic of our products."
HARTMUT SCHÜRG, CHIEF BRAND & DESIGN OFFICER, RECARO HOLDING GMBH
It is the details that make up the big picture.
For over 110 years, RECARO has stood for products that combine aesthetics, ergonomics, and functionality. Products where every detail counts and every millimeter is carefully considered. This is why all our car seats and strollers are easy and intuitive to use. This saves time and allows you to enjoy your precious moments together even more.
360-degree rotating and size-adjustable car seats? Exceptionally lightweight and maneuverable strollers? Ergonomic sitting and reclining positions? For us, these aren't technical gimmicks, but rather the natural expectations of modern families regarding our products. We firmly believe that design should be created for people's needs. Ingenious Design – as we call it – perfectly encapsulates the DNA of our daily work.
What began in 1906 with car body construction and interior fittings continued in a successful collaboration with Porsche. With the production of their legendary sports and aircraft seats, we have continuously evolved. The manufacture of exceptionally high-quality and safe child car seats and strollers is the area that is particularly close to our hearts. After all, it is our children who will shape the world of tomorrow.
Our milestones prove we're on the right track: As early as 1998, RECARO set standards with the first RECARO start child car seat that grows with your child. We demonstrate our expertise with the introduction of many new, innovative products. So that you can enjoy shared family moments even more, we will continue to provide you with absolutely smart, future-oriented, and safe companions for every journey. Have a good trip.
